Abstract: The pulse train of a signal is modulated by a DPIM modulation involving a discrete random time parameter. A first processing is performed on the signal to deliver a sampled signal. A second processing is performed on the sampled signal, comprising a correlation processing including at least one elementary correlation processing with a correlation mask corresponding to the shape of at least part of a sampled pulse, and delivering second information items. A third processing is performed for detecting the pulses following a first pulse by taking account of the position of the first pulse, on packets of second information items, which are separated by a duration related to the discrete random parameter.

Abstract: The waveform of the signal varies according to the distance at which the signal was emitted, and several correlation signals are defined and correspond respectively to at least part of several sampled waveforms of the signal respectively emitted at several distances of different values so that the sum of the maxima of intercorrelations performed respectively between the various correlation signals and the various sampled waveforms is substantially constant over an interval including all the values of the distances. The correlation processing includes several elementary correlation processings respectively performed with the correlation signals and each delivering initial correlation values, as well as a summation of the homologous initial correlation values respectively delivered by the elementary correlation processings so as to obtain the correlation values.

Abstract: A digital processing device is at the input of a radio frequency receiver chain, suited to a transmission system using a direct sequence spectrum spread, comprising analog-to-digital conversion means (ADC) performing an undersampling of a signal received, resulting in an overlapping of the wanted signal by the transmission channel noise, demodulation means connected to the output of the ADC, a low pass filter connected at the output of the demodulation means and a filter matched to the spreading code used, wherein the ADC includes a comparator capable of comparing the amplitude of the undersampled signal to a reference in order to carry out a quantizing of the 1-bit signal, said comparator bringing about the creation of a quantizing noise, and including an additional filtering unit arranged between the low pass filter and the matched filter, implementing a multi-noise, stochastic matched filtering operation.
